RE: [APML] Another M42 on film

[Steve <sc02492@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Jeff and Chris.  I appreciate the feedback. 
The point about increasing the green is a good one-
it's the sort of thing you don't realize until someone
else takes a look.  I made a special point of not
clipping the histogram after my Rosette photo was
posted several weeks ago.  I agree with more
sharpening (or perhaps less smoothing, which may be
the problem).  I will make some adjustments over the
weekend.

Thanks again

Steve
